Apples with Caramel – Refined Sugar Free, All-Natural

Healthy Homemade Caramel Sauce

This homemade sugar free caramel sauce just rings in Halloween for me. You can use this as a dipping sauce for any fruit you wish (green apples work best), or dip whole apples and let set into “Caramel Apples”. Since I wanted to just keep it simple this time around, I’m sticking to this easy (I mean real easy) homemade caramel sauce recipe.

I got this recipe out of Better Homes and Garden’s 1953 cookbook, eliminating the corn syrup and substituting instead coconut palm sugar for all the sugar. For a dairy free caramel sauce, full fat coconut milk may work well with this recipe, replacing the cream. Be forewarned that I haven’t tried this, but will report back when I post my Caramel Apple recipe next month.

Halloween is almost here! Just two more days. I love this ‘holiday’ more than the other silly holidays we have like St. Patrick’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Although symbolic, I’m sure, Halloween means so much more to me, bringing up images and memories (only the good ones, mind you) of the season.

Next post will be tomorrow, and it’s my favorite candy recipe: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Cups! Entirely healthy, and very rich. Just because you want to be healthy doesn’t mean you need to spoil the fun this Halloween.

It is refined sugar free, and the “sugar” used is coconut palm sugar, which has a much different chemical makeup compared to pure sucrose that is processed from the cane sugar plant. It is also very, very low on the glycemic index, and it is a safe sweetener that can be used by diabetics or those watching their blood sugar.

Hmmm…I’m not sure, Joy. I haven’t tried that. It sure sounds interesting, though! I would assume you can put it into the center of a cupcake and it will be fine. I just might try this out. Thanks for the idea!
